Editing Isn't Easy Guys!

-

 Throughout the editing process, our group ran into so many issues that really stressed us out. Editing was NOT easy, thats for sure. But we were able to persevere in the end and get it done so that we could move on towards finishing our project all together. So, here are a few editing interruptions and issues we ran into throughout the ENTIRETY of this project thus far, at least when it comes to editing that is. 


The first problem that we ran into was us literally DOWNLOADING DaVinci Resolve 17. Now, our group knew that this was the application that we wanted to use, because it fit the majority of our needs and also had a feature where multiple people can collaborate on the same file. However, downloading this was SUCH A DRAG honestly. At first I thought it was just me that was having this issue, but the other group members also ran into this issue, which became a huge waste of time at some point. The first ever day that we got together to use DaVinci, we wasted the whole time waiting for the application to run. It wasn't good. But thankfully after some patience and some YouTube videos, we were able to get the application running and edit together. 


    Oh you thought that was it? Yeah, I wish it was... lol. After FINALLY getting the application to work, we collectively edited on Aaliyah's computer because the rest of our applications were still downloading. Then when we went home, we were in no panic to finish editing because we knew that we could all compatibly edit together. Right? WRONG. When Aaliyah sent the file over to us from that day of editing, all all the files were in red with the words "not found" or "corrupted" on them. Turns out, everyone has to have the SAME files on each individual device... yikes.


    So, we decided to work with what we had, and continue to use DaVinci Resolve 17 for the time period. Which really just meant that we each had to download ALL the files that we needed to edit. Lets just say that my poor laptop was downloading files for a whileeeee. But, this is all part of the learning process, and now we know for next time. We were able to fix all those issues, and continue to collectively edit to the best of our ability.

  Here is my Creative Critical Reflection! Here I dissected each component of my film based off of four questions: How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues? How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text? How did your production skills develop throughout this project? How did you integrate technologies- software, hardware and online – in this project? This was one of the very last components of this project and my experience with it, so I hope that you enjoyed this as much as I did! Kayla Jencic's CCR

Color Use

Color theory has always been something that has inspired me in the world of media. I loved learning about the pure impact and meaning that color can have in film, and how something as simple as the color of someone's shirt at the right moment can mean so much. I'm glad to say that our group used the color theory when it came to the outfits of each character, something that I am actually REALLY proud of. It's always been something so interesting to me, and being able to implement it into our own film was just an amazing feeling.                                      Felicity Rox My character, AKA Felicity, wears a purple sweater vest, a black skirt, leggings, and ballet flats with bright silver jewelry and a silver headband. The reasoning behind her outfit ties back to color theory. Her outfit consists mainly of elegant colors like purple and black- both of which are associated with luxury, power, wealth, and more. The colors of her outfit connect directly with her independen

Finished Project Feelings!

       The day has come! My group and I are OFFICIALLY and completely done with our project, with everything from preparing, to filming, to editing. Obviously, I am quite excited, but not because I didn't enjoy the process. There is a weight that is now lifted off my shoulders, because I feel like we have been working towards this moment for a VERY long time, and now that it is all finally over with I am so happy. However, this project has allowed me to learn so many new skills that without taking this class, I would not have been able to learn and apply like I have through this project. I have learned how to blog, how to edit: importing media, adding sound, syncing up audio with video, and so much more, how to act (kinda LOL), and so much more. This project has truly opened my eyes to the depth of the world of film making, and now more than ever do I appreciate those that work in the field of film making. Now understanding all the elements, such as misc-en-scene, to the literal wo
